This book provides the latest up-to-date information on the exciting applications of nanocellulose in human diseases by giving in-depth explanations of their synthesis, characterization, and real-world applications in the biomedical sectors.
Nanocellulose is a promising nanomaterial with unique qualities including low cost, durability, non-toxicity, accessibility, etc. Cellulose can be classified into two types: nanocrystals and nanofibrils, depending on the way it is extracted from trees, plants, or other cellulose-containing species. Textiles, cosmetics, and food products are just a few of the commercial uses for nanocellulose. However, it also has strong potential for use in medicine.
The book presents the most recent scientific research on nanocellulose as a biopolymer and its potential uses in medicine. The reader will discover:
* explains the synthesis of bacterial nanocellulose from different bacterial species and their characteristics;
* details processes and applications of electrospinning and the synthesis of novel nanocellulose-based nanocomposite materials;
* discusses the various surface functionalization processes of cellulose and their advantages and disadvantages;
* delves into the application of nanocellulose in tissue engineering and grafting, such as in wound dressing and implants;
* discusses nanocellulose as a carrier for drug delivery, as well as the synthesis of antibacterial nanocomposites for treating multi-drug-resistant bacteria;
* explores the role of nanocellulose in the treatment of renal failure, nanocellulose hydrogel for ophthalmic and dental applications.
